Deputies said that the victim, a woman in her 70s, called the Sheriff’s Office to report the incident around 2 a.m. Monday, after the suspect had left.

The victim told deputies that at 11:30 p.m. Sunday, she awoke in her Sunnyside home to an unknown man in her room who sexually battered her by forcing her to perform sex acts on him for more than two hours.

The Sheriff’s Office sent out patrol deputies, the Sheriff’s Office helicopter and K-9s to search the area, but the man was not found.

The assailant has been described as a white man, possibly 6 feet tall, with a stocky build. He was possibly wearing a dark shirt and light-colored shorts. The victim told deputies he had a deep voice and possibly has gray hair.

Detectives are hoping for a better description of the assailant after their follow-up interview has been completed.

"It's a quiet community, quiet neighborhood, so this is very shocking, very disturbing, and we just want to get this poor excuse for a human behind bars as quickly as we can," said Lake County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. John Herrell.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office or Central Florida CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS.
